Wisconsin Responds to Outcry, Bans Clone

EARTH- A mayor of a Wisconsin town has opted to ban the card "Clone" from Magic: The Gathering play in city limits after a teacher submitted the recommendation, proposing it promotes stem cell research and human cloning, an issue Wisconsin state voted down in recent years. "I feel like we're making progress." The teacher said. "I don't usually mind if the kids play Magic during lunch, but when I saw them broaching the topic of cloning, I decided to inquire. The source of the discussion was a card that depicts two identical men looking surprised and despaired in the artwork. I couldn't believe it. What's next, a "Gay Marriage" card? I had to explain to them why cloning was wrong, and that they shouldn't earn the upper hand in a game, or in life, by unethical means." All copies of the card must remain in closed containers or risk confiscation, the mayor decreed, and locals say the measure is gaining ground. "It has already spread to two other townships, who are considering outlawing the game altogether for it's promotion of demonic values." said Kathy, a baby-toting mother of three. "It just makes sense."

A similar ban of "Balance" passed in Florida last year after it was argued the card is a misrepresentation of the judicial system.
